OLD DUCK WORTH A MILLION,
Who Proved Too slippery for Even
Two Gay New York Widows.

NEW YORK, March 19.-The testimony
of every one who had business transac-
tions with Walter E. Lawton, is that within
the last four weeks LawtOn has been get
ting together all the hard cash possible.
His wide acquaintance and his unim-
peached credit enabled MIN to do this in a
great many different ways, and he seems
to have used them all. There is a
suspicion also that he has taken a rich
wife with him. There were two rich wild
owS in town, SO it is said in the street, who
wanted to marry him, although, as one of
his victims says THE old fellow was about
as handsome as red mud" just one week
before the day he left his Office for good he
was in bank doing some business and he
quietly sat down and taking pencil fig
ured up his wealth as S1,OO0,0 to the sat-
isfaction of the president. When Lawton
walked out, the president said to another
officer of the bank, There goes
an old fellow worth solid Million"
Abram King. of 261 Broadway, who has
obtained some 1926, 900 worth of attach
ments against the estate of Walter e. Law
ton, the fugitive phosphate dealer of 81
Broadway, said to-day that the missing
mans safe had been opened and found to
contain not dollar that could be applied to
the settlement of Lawton's personal estate
The only things found in the safe were the
books of the various companies in which he
was interested. The safe opening also
showed that Lawton had totally destroyed,
not only his check books, but his cash book,
ledger and office files, so that the last straw
that the creditors clung to, that
of unraveling the mans mysterious
actions, is gone. Another of his games
came to light yesterday. He owned tract
of 600 acres of land, known as the Island
at Little Ferry. N. j., with large water
front on the Hackensack river. Swamps,
grass and cat tails cover it. A we'll exc
cuted map is in existence. showing the
island tract as an elegant park with mani
ficent residences, groves and drives, and
the river front white with sails of yachts.
1t is said to have been Lawton's intention
to dispose Of the property to syndicate of
English capitalists, representing it as an
ariStOcratic suburb of New York.

HASTINGS, Neb., March 1s.-Dr. w. w.
Randall, of this city, vas arrested last
Wednesday for committing rape on the per-
son of Miss Hart, Of Edgar, an eleyen-year-
old girl who was placed under his care for
treatment. The crime was committed one
week ago. To-day he was arraigned. After
the examination and Randall had been
placed under IS, 900 bonds, the brother of
the girl pulled out his revolver, and, before
any person knew it, shot Randall dead. He
then turned and walked away and disap-
peared and no person has taken
the trouble to look for him, as
the killing is looked on as justitiable. From
the evidence it appears as though Randall
and his wife, who was on trial with him,
have made it a practice to luin young girls
and then place them in houses of ill-fame.
Mrs. Randall is under arrest. She is now
Quartered in her boarding house, which IS
